What happened: The Baltimore Ravens used their official account to spotlight a defender they describe as 'the chess piece,' a nod to a player moved around the formation to create matchup problems. The post is part of the team's offseason content as the 2026 NFL calendar moves toward training camp.

Why it matters: Versatile defenders who can line up at multiple spots give Baltimore's defense flexibility to disguise looks and counter a range of offenses. How the Ravens deploy that role often shapes their defensive identity heading into a new season.

What to watch: Watch for how Baltimore defines the role through OTAs and training camp, and where the defender lines up most often once the 2026 season opens.
